About 17 Marlow Gardens
17 Marlow Gardens is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Hayes (UB3 1QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2018) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2017 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £480,000 sits 92.8% above the 2008 sale of £249,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£330/sq ft) was about 35.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 70 m² it's 15.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (83 m² median across 22 EPCs).
